Well, I don't have the time or money right now to get the parts I need to make a simple video circuit to make games on the propeller, so is there a way I could use the pst to display video generated by the propeller?

PST is text-only, but people have used characters as sprites for simple games. See Quickstart Smile Games Contest

Video takes 3 wires and 3 resistors, less than a dollar to connect the prop to a TV. The TV equivalent is TV_Terminal.spin, try out the TV_Terminal_demo.spin program. The default pins are 12, 13, 14 for TV out. Pin 15 is the audio output but is not required.

Shoot, well thanks anyways. I will have to try that out too! But is this tv demo for composite video or vga, because it doesn't seem to use the number of pins vga does.

Anything that says TV is for composite. Anything that says vga is for vga.
