Not sure, but it appears to be a bad idea... In my opinion, it's better to burn your roms on dvd and have all the Emu's folder on your hard disk because :
1- You won't be able to change roms settings, recorded in the .rdb
2- You won't be able to up to date the rdb, plugins
3- Even if you can modifed the registry in 16bit mode, if you share your DVD with friend the emu will ask first for "language", and create a new clean registry and you will have to re-set it. (hohoho, really practical)
4- It will not be an intemporal archive because the emu is still under development

I'm guessing you want to run the batch files in Windows, because Project64 won't run in real DOS mode.

To change the save state directory of Project64, open Notepad and copy this into the window:
Code: 
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\N64 Emulation\Project64 Version 1.6]
"Use Default Auto Save Dir"=dword:00000000
"Use Default Instant Save Dir"=dword:00000000
"Use Default Snap Shot Dir"=dword:00000000
"Snap Shot Directory"="C:\\PJtemp\\"
"Instant Save Directory"="C:\\PJtemp\\"
"Auto Save Directory"="C:\\PJtemp\\"
Save this as "PJ64save.reg" (file name doesn't matter, but the quotes are important), then add this to your batch file:

Code: 
regedit /s PJ64save.reg
(again, change the file name accordingly)

This should make Project64 save the save states, native saves and screenshots in C:\\PJtemp\\.
