I tried to use the Lua scripts from user mtvf1, but I think they don't work with the most recent version of bizhawk, Even so, I did this TAS in 1P mode demonstrating the location of maximum possibles POWs in record time, (I think). I hope you like it. Link to video

You'd just have to start from SaveRAM after doing your test menu changes. Do File > Movie > Record Movie... then pick the "from SaveRAM" start option, then open TAStudio.
Excellent, after following these last steps, it started without problems or errors, with the difficulty changed and all the changes saved, thank you very much. Now to create TAS as if there were no tomorrow. Edit: I think this will not be an acceptable submission since I am starting from a Sram, right ?

You have to edit the DIP switches when outside of a movie, then you can create a new movie with those DIP switch edits. Loading a movie will just load that movies sync settings, overwriting whatever sync settings you currently have.
Link to video I uploaded a video with all the steps I do to create a new project, maybe I'm doing something wrong...

It's a DIP switch, you go to Arcade -> Settings for those.
Every time I start a new project in tastudio, all the changes I make in "Arcade -> Settings" are not recognized, they are discarded completely. I think that the midway boards are different from the cps1/2 or mvs ones, in those, tastudio does have the button that I mentioned before, I mean that it has 2 "service" buttons, one for the credits and another for the configurations. I think I will leave the MK TAS in Bizhawk pending for now, I will focus on libtas with MAME.

Are you able to enter into this "test mode" in regular MAME.
Yes, in the latest version of MAME I entered the test menu without any problem, just pressing the F2 key.

it is possible to add the test/service menu button for these boards (mk1-mk3) on Tastudio ?
Ok yes, but with that button it only lets me add coins/credits, it doesn't let me enter the test mode to change the difficulty and the other settings

Fixed on github.
I just did tests and everything was perfect, thank you very much, one last question, it is possible to add the test/service menu button for these boards (mk1-mk3) on Tastudio ? In cps1, cps2 and mvs games it is already added, but in the mk ones there is a service button but just add coins, thanks in advance.

If they do not work in regular MAME then it will not and never will work in BizHawk's MAME. If you really want to TAS those games, use libTAS + that custom MAME version.
Yes, I think I will have to use LibTas, now I just need to install a virtual machine.

Also the plus versions of these roms do not load at all, I don't know if this is where we should talk about this.

No, it doesn't work, only in the MAME+ version of the page: https://mkombat.plus/mame/ only in this version have I managed to run it. I tried the Original/Regular version of MAME, but It gives me a checksum error in only 2 roms: UG12 and UJ12.

I know it's a little (too) late, but I'm publishing it so that some expert maybe can improve the times, the route I think is the most optimal but maybe there is another one, the times of the bosses can also be improved and in many rooms too, I leave the .bk2 file and the link to my YT channel where the video is located. Metroid Super Zero Mission v2.4 "Hard Edition" 100% .bk2 file: https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638078873034279052 YT. Video: Link to video

I have a problem with the svc chaos rom, every time I want to enter an input in the buttons all the lines are completely filled,(the old release (2.8) works fine), maybe NEO-GEO is not 100% compatible
