I have setup a script and tested that it work with user input via set /p but now I want to pass that variable automatically to the cmd.
Script w/ user input:
@ECHO OFF
set /p id="Enter Rom: "
start /d "G:\Emulators\N64\Project64" Project64.exe "G:\Emulators\N64\Roms\%id%"
What I want to pass to the CLI:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>set id = "Goldeneye 007.v64" & "C:\script.cmd"

You can use batch arguments and pass the value of the ROM to the call of the batch script when you execute it such as C:\script.cmd "<Value Argument>".
Rather than using set /p id="Enter Rom: " use set id=%~1 and that's all that is needed to allow the first argument passed to the script to be used for the value to set the id variable.
Batch Script Example
@ECHO OFF
set id=%~1
start /d "G:\Emulators\N64\Project64" Project64.exe "G:\Emulators\N64\Roms\%id%"
