FWIW:

As nic007 has told you, there's something wrong with your SaveFile/folder. Here's what I'd do:

1. Boot into the X-tarh which works. Open SFS-Load and Puppy Package Manager and make a note (screenshot) of the current applications you've installed/loaded and have functioning.
2. Create a NEW Frugal Install or just a new SaveFile starting with the files in the original ISO. You'll use the note/screenshots for rebuilding your Puppy.
3. Except for Qt and python SFSes, Do Not Load any SFSes. The advantage of SFSes are the ease with which you can 'upgrade' an application -- unload the old, load the new, see if it works and doesn't present a conflict with other applications. Including application SFSes in your puppy_version_number.sfs either locks you into an old version, or wastes space when you SFS-load a new version. The exceptions are QT and python which are used by other applications, sometimes are supplemented by additional libs or versions, but are rarely updated. SFSes can be added to an ISO so that they may be copied to /mnt/home.
4. Use a SaveFile rather than a SaveFolder. Make frequent backup as you install pets so that you can revert if necessary.
5. Test each pet when it's installed to make certain it works and doesn't conflict with other applications.
6. Remaster when you're finished installing/testing. If the remaster application you use permits it, create a separate zdrv.
7. The most important component you want to remaster is the Puppy_Version_number.sfs. There are tools for editing ISOs. For example in Xenialpup64 there's Menu>Multimedia>ISOMaster. Running it, you can open the original ISO, delete old Puppy_Version_number.sfs [optionally old vmlinuz & zdrv] and add your remastered Puppy_Version_number.sfs [and optionally, updated updated vmlinuz, zdrv]. Xenialpup64 also has Menu>Multimedia>BurnISO2CD. X-tahr is likely to have included similar tools; or you can install them.

@johnywhy

Did you try to remaster your Puppy by using the latest version of LazY Remaster Suite?

It comes with option to create a .iso (one can enable/disable this in the GUI). Also it will copy everything from the install directory (where the puppy .sfs is) to the build directory, and so everything will be in the .iso.

I have tested this on a remaster of Music2Go and everything went fine.

Just to mention...
