You don't need to use iso2usb with those: the file is a hybrid. You can
just splatter it at a USB stick with "dd". Make *very sure* you get the
target device correct.

dd if=/var/tmp/slackware64-current-install-dvd.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=512 status=progress

I just booted the Sept 9 dated one via Qemu and the grub menu says
Slackware 16.0 while the installer welcome message says version 15.1.

qemu-system-x86_64 -smbios type=0,uefi=on -m 2g -cpu max -M q35 -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,readonly=on,file=/usr/share/qemu/edk2-x86_64-code.fd -cdrom /var/tmp/slackware64-current-install-dvd.iso 

This is the one I use:
