How can I burn an .img image in Linux at a 2x speed?

I’ve been trying to burn PlayStation images, but every application in Linux only seems to write at 10x speed or more, but the PS only recognizes CD’s burned at 2x. Is there any software which allows us Linux users to burn images at 2x?

What’s yer desktop ma-an? Sorry. Cheech and Chong have been by lately and I’m still recovering. Most burners DO allow you to control speed. I generally burn even data disks with for example:
sudo cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 Achmed.iso.
If you are on Ubuntu you may or may not have to use wodim but I’m fed up with Debian-derived OSes so I use cdrecord. I also use xfburn and k3b because I’m on slackware which installs kde (k3b) by default even when you prefer xfce as I do (xfburn is the native burner). Both allow you to specify write speed. In fact every burner I know about does. But writing at speed 2 I would do it from the terminal and walk away for twenty minutes. Don’t TOUCH your computer until it finishes.
