Quoted from robgo777:

Hi CLEllison,
This is a fantastic question and I am really glad you brought it up. One thing to keep in mind with this kit is that the motor doesn't just go off at random by itself. The player has the choice of up to 16 possible triggers between flashers, pop bumpers, slingshots etc. If you think about it, those inputs are indeed invoked by code/mode. The difference with our kit is you get to choose yourself when it is invoked. Manufacturers of new machines are having their shakers go off during a lot of the same scenarios. Take Houdini for example, it's shaker goes off any time the pop bumpers are activated, among others.
As for TAF, here is where you will want to get a little creative. That game is extremely flasher happy, same goes for FH. Seems like whenever a ball hits something every single flasher in the machine cycles. So the end user will want to play through a few games and pay attention to what flashers go off at what times and then select them to activate the motor. Nice thing is you can try out a flasher and if you find that the motor is activating so much that it becomes annoying, you can try a different one. The idea is to get it to feel as if it was always meant to be there. If you can't get it dialed in the way you want, then you have the option to try the other harness with the low power solenoids and see if perhaps the pop bumpers, slingshots, or one of the other triggers has a better "feel" to it and integrates better with the overall gameplay.
As for FH, correct me if I am wrong but isn't there a flasher that only goes off when you hit Rudy with the ball or when he swallows it? If the motor is triggered when you smack that boy in the face and you don't think that is cool, you better check your pulse!
Lastly, we designed the board so that you have a very wide range on the adjustment knob to get the right amount of intensity you are comfortable with. Unlike other shaker motors where you dial them down all the way and they still rattle the fillings in your teeth, ours can be dialed down to the point where it feels more like a force feedback controller for your Playstation or Xbox. Of course, you can crank it up all the way if you do like taking trips to the dentist..
Another note, we offer a 30 day no questions asked return of the entire kit. Simply return it to us in the same condition you received it and we will issue you a full refund minus shipping charges. So if you get the kit, and realize it just isn't for you, then you will only be out the shipping.
I think you will find though that the shaker motor kits add a completely new dimension to the game. It really makes it come "alive". It may not be right for every person, or even every game for that matter. However we believe that for the mass majority it will be a really nice improvement.
Hope that Helps,
Best Regards,
