ping -n 6 127.0.0.1 >nul

I unpacked the Setup.bat file for people to analyze,
It runs the included files and doesn't seem to do anything outside of those.

The part where it pings the localhost "ping -n 6 127.0.0.1 >nul" I don't understand.

I managed to get it to run on Linux. It's not exactly trivial, but here you go..
  1. Download and unpack the game
  2. Inside the folder "Jerez's Arena" you'll find a file called #Data# and a file called #Start#. Those are archives which you have to unpack.
    If you've issues unpacking the two files, then rename #Data# into Data.arc and #Start# into Start.arc. Now you can open the files with PeaZip and select "Extract".
    The other files (#042#, #ARC#, #INI# and Setup.bat) can be deleted. Those are just used for the installation on Windows which we don't need.
  3. If you have unpacked the files into seperate sub-folders, you should now have a folder called "Data" and another one called "Start". Both of these folders contain a sub-folder called "Jerez'sArena_Data".
    Get the one from inside your "Data" directory and drop it into the "Start" directory, so that the two "Jerez'sArena_Data" folders are combined. The now empty "Data" folder can be deleted.
  4. The game is now ready to be played with Wine.
    If you're unfamiliar with that, then I'd recommend you download "Bottles",
    Create a default Windows bottle and drop the folder containing your game into it. I dropped mine into: /home/MyName/Documents/bottles/bottles/GameBottle/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/
    Afterwards start you bottle.
    Click "Add Shortcuts..." and add a shortcut for the file "Jerez'sArena.exe" (if you don't see it inside the folder of your game, then make sure to delete the filter condition in your file open dialog).
    Start your shortcut and enjoy.
