It would literally not hurt them to open source anything <= 3DS now after the eshop closure. The act of doing that and everything that would come of it (e.g. rom hacks) would actually be a pretty good PR move imo and maybe they'd even find new developers, acquainted with their code, that could be hired by them so they have developers that actually know how to develop good and optimized games.

One can sadly only dream.

The thing is that they want to continue to milk those classic titles (see for example the Chrono Trigger Android port)
