Today I just picked up psones for checking, I desoldered one modchip that had one of the psones, i desoldered the one that came on my PS1 Fat which never worked since I bought it, the guy who soldered the modchip on the PS1 fat wasn't the correct one, I soldered correctly for the 750X one, after finishing, my laser stopped working, I desoldered the modchip, and the issue was still there, discs are still rotating and laser is still working, but seems data isn't beginning reconigzed by the ps1, no backups, no music, no original discs. Do anyone has a clue? or did I screw my PS1 fat?
PS1/2 PS1 Fat after desoldering modchip and reinstalling one newer, laser doesn't work anymore

It has been a while since I did anything with the PS1 but the usual suspects in such scenarios are you made a cold joint, you cooked a part (PS1 era stuff was not necessarily as tolerant of heat at things are today) and or you broke a trace/pad somewhere in it.
I don't think there is anything weird done for the PS1 like the chip takes over drive functions and you need to disable the original so I am back to the stuff above. If simply checking the joints and reflowing them does not work then if you want to install the chip again and see if it comes back it will give an answer there.

One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better. -

I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs

I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
