Attempted to overclock pi4b...

[Stutter]

Boots to terminal, throwing error:
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what(): basic_string: :_M_construct null not valid
I'm running the dev build for pi4, not sure what the ver# is, can't seem to find the link anymore. I downloaded it 2 days ago (March 30th) so it's probably not changed versions as of this post.
this is on a pi4b.

I've tried removing the overclock parameters from config.txt but still no change. I'm stumped and my google-fu has failed me. I'd be happy to provide any other details, just not sure what all is needed. thanks in advance for your help.

What image did you use to install ? There is no official RetroPie image for the Pi4. From the error message, similar to other topics posted here, it looks like you are starting EmulationStation from the Raspbian desktop - is that correct ?

@mitu it was an official dev build. I've found the image file it's: retropie-buster-4.5.18-rpi4
And that's the error it throws on boot. I tried starting from prompt after it had thrown the error, tried building from source then launching....nada, same error.
Edit: it was working peachy before I tried to overclock it. Really wish I had just left it alone at this point.

@Stutter If the overclocking was all you changed and the system still has the same issue after removing it, I’d say you’ve corrupted your installation. It can happen when overclocking, if corrupt data from the CPU is stored to disk.

@Brunnis I ended up just reflashing with the stable release, and loading old saves. Now I'm having an issue with one game(Azure Dreams) on psx, where when I goto the save card selection screen it and choose slot 1 it hangs. The spinning save card graphic plays, but it accepts no input other than opening the retroArch gui, or hard stopping the game. I'll try some things to see if i can get it working, but it's been frustrating to say the least.
