Try running myth from a terminal window and then you can see the arguments that mygame is using to run xmame. You can then run Xmame from a command line with the same arguments to see if it loads. If it doesn't then try changing the arguments until it does. In my case I had to get rid of the '-joytype 4' option. You might also need to add the argument -noperfect-yuv to the command to get it working properly in full screen mode with the PVR-350. I'm also using ivtv 0.3.7h and about half of my games work fine. The other half will launch fine in a small window but segfault when I try and run them full screen. I haven't investigated this too much but I'm guessing it might have something to do with the newness of XV support on the 350.
