If you haven't heared of Row Hammer a basic bit hax looks like this:
Code:
code1a:
mov (X), %eax // Read from address X
mov (Y), %ebx // Read from address Y
clflush (X) // Flush cache for address X
clflush (Y) // Flush cache for address Y
jmp code1a
Is there any chance to make a spiderhax on the go ram editor/thing?

That looks like an x86 specific exploit vector tbh, and it wouldn't work on the 3DS because you cannot flush the cache for a specific address from usermode, needs kernel.

Harder to exploit on arm than x86 because no unpriviledged cache flushing. Not impossible but very hard. Much easier to exploit the kernel through the usual means.
