Summary 09357: ipminvad2: Game has multiple issues
Description IPM Invader (M11) is marked as working, but has many issues that make it almost unplayable.

The main problem is that the bases are below the player's ship, but if you fire upwards the bullet hits the invisible base and fizzes out.

The bases are the wrong shape.

There's no sound while playing, but some sounds are heard in the attract mode.

While playing, wrong colours - the bottom half of the screen is red, while the mothership is white instead of red. The colours are ok on the instruction screen.

There's lots of errors in the error.log (read/write to 5400-54FF, read from 4780-47BF, 3F80-3FBF).
Steps To Reproduce >mame ipminvad2

Press a key to pass the orange screen.

Let attract mode begin and note what happens.

Insert a coin, start, note what happens.

The bases, it's this in the mcfg:

-- specific for andromed? ipminvad2 should use the one from parent set
m_back_color[0] = 3; m_back_color[1] = 0; m_back_color[2] = 3; m_back_color[3] = 3;
m_back_xpos[0] = 4 * 8; m_back_xpos[1] = 26 * 8; m_back_xpos[2] = 2 * 8; m_back_xpos[3] = 3 * 8;

red telephone bases are fixed here: https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/4b40d5afc0a4cbb4ea6fc20db9c12ed03bc55b34
I won't look at the space-invaders-for-everyone samples sound emulation.

Thanks for fixing the bases and also the bad colours.

Sound is mentioned as imperfect, so this can be resolved now.

I'm working on the sound in my build. EDIT: done.
