Not trying to discredit your work as I’m sure there is a use case. But out of curiosity could you provide an example as to why someone would want to disable UMD? Does it save a considerable amount of battery maybe?

I just like to learn new things, you never know when you might need to know something

No worries.
I'm not sure if it saves power but this plugin is mainly for people who have PSPs with broken UMD drive, battery mod or simply for people who want to disable their PSP's UMD drive because they're not using it.

Thank you so much, this finally let me PSP boot up without an infinite loading screen and the UMD drive roaring while empty

After all this time, has anyone tested it? Does it actually save power when playing from SD card (I doubt it, since it was still inactive anyway)? Otherwise, I consider it pretty much useless...
But the work behind it is still commendable: It still keeps interest in this old console alive.

It's useful if your UMD drive is malfunctioning and prompting the "do you want to leave the game?" message everytime you're in a game
