Play music on the guitar
The Rustissimo app is available for free on Steam, but only works with Windows. An alternative named Rust Guitar is available for Linux. Both apps support basic MIDI files.
- Though not a cheat and designed to be transparent to the game, could potentially trigger Easy Anti-Cheat. Use at your own risk!
