Why are my self-created cube icons

I am using Spunks3 S3Cube (works great) so I wanted to create some custom Icons, I use Spunks PSD files, and save them in Photoshop as 16bit and R5G6B5 in advanced mode. I converted the bmp file with BMP2BRN and get a brn file that I place in the S3cube-icon folder on my touch. When I go to the cube my newley created icons look fuzzy and unclear. I also downloaded and tried BRNCONVERT and when I try to convert the same file the program give me a "BRN Convertion Exemption: Parameter is not valid" What am I doing wrong.

The demesion ______X______ isn't scaled down...That's were your blurry look comes from...240x320 is what your phone is...I'm sure you know but images need to be converted to fit that format!!!

I got the template from the creator of the s3cube Spunks3 and the icon files are 80x80. I saved the file from 16bit to 24bit and brnconverter converted them. So tonight I am going to give the 24bit versions a try.
