After high score entry I get dark red shortly followed by magenta. Tested on Mazey Man.

Thanks, it does sound like it probably failed to allocate RMA then. I'll tweak the border colours to confirm and come back shortly.

Border goes to orange a few seconds after entering high score.

Oh...that's an error opening the JFD as read/write.
Two possible reasons:
- The JFD is locked or read only
- The JFD wasn't mounted using a full path
The later shouldn't occur if Boot Floppy or
*ADFBootFloppy F1001801 are used in a !Run as the boot script uses a full path to mount the JFD. It does explain why I can't reproduce the issue though.
EDIT: If you're running it via a !App, try manually mounting the JFD and selecting Boot Floppy from the ADFFS Filer menu to see if it works

My JFD is definitely not set to read-only - there's nothing in the Write protected box in the "About this floppy image" dialogue. Also, I am booting using a !Run file that only has ADFBootFloppy F1001801 in it.

Try manually mounting the JFD and selecting Boot Floppy from the ADFFS Filer menu to see if it behaves differently.

Using the Boot floppy option and after entering a high score the border turns light green and rebooting the game shows that the high score saving is now working.

Good. I know how to resolve it then, so will fix in the next full update.

Great, I will look forward to that then!
